5. Operation

Setting the altitude of the installation location (in meters above sea level)

This is important as it affects the actual pressure in

the retort.

Press SITE ELEVATION (meters), enter the value in

the number field and press OK.

This parameter (in meters) must be entered to ensure

that the ASP300 S makes the appropriate corrections

when calculating the proper pressure or vacuum.

Upgrading software

New versions of the ASP300 S operating software are distributed on dis-

kettes. These upgrade packages normally include 2 to 3 diskettes.

Do not attempt a software upgrade if you do not have all diskettes

of a package available.

Read the documentation in the upgrade package to find out how

to carry out the upgrade, as the included documentation may still

contain version-specific additional information, and to find out if

new/modified procedures, parameters or data are present that

have to be loaded or modified for the new software version to run.

1. First make a backup copy of the instrument's current data. To do so, you

need an empty, formatted diskette.

2. Insert the disk marked "Disk 1" (or similar) of the software upgrade into

the disk drive.

3. Press the UPGRADE SOFTWARE button. This is followed by two security

prompts that must both be answered with YES / OK. Afterwards, follow

the instructions on the screen.

When prompted, insert the disk labeled "Disk 2" into the disk drive. Follow

the same procedure for the other disks (if present).

4. After the update process is complete, the instrument software carries

out a restart – the screen shuts off and then restarts as if the instrument

had been switched off and switched on again.
